00:00sit there and tell us that it was a dumb mistake and it cost you the baseball game when you need
00:06to be winning baseball games how about you say that listen it was a bad play by nevaez but
00:15ultimately the reason why we lost this game is because i botched it at the top of the 10th by not
00:20playing a little small ball i mismanaged the ball game i mismanaged the ball game the the catcher's
00:27interference all right we probably lose the game anyways because it's bases bases loaded and no
00:32outs so either way we're probably going to lose this baseball game but i didn't give us i mismanaged
00:38it for us to be in the best position to win the game that's cora though you're only going to get
00:42him fired up if somebody's criticizing one of his guys like a cora is not going to get fired up to
00:48criticize one of his own he that's not his personality it never really has been he's always a
00:52guy that if you see him fired up it's because he doesn't agree with what somebody's saying about
00:56one of his people well or if you say he should have managed when his graduation yes he then he
01:02should be fired up that you came off a 10 game win streak and you're the time to win baseball games is
01:11now and you are you know this this this part of the schedule right since they started winning when
01:19curtis was in another state has been circled as being very important for this baseball team because
01:24it's a fair test right of what you are right and they're they're failing it if you don't make the
01:29playoffs i i probably say that it's i mean i would think i would probably do it if i was the owner if
01:37they don't red sox don't make the playoffs i fire alex core at the end of the season because there's no
01:43way you can say all right we're going to continue to keep going with this guy who in the first half of
01:50seasons has done decent jobs he's done a good job but in the second half of the season this will be
01:56what four years in a row he's not been able to manage this team to where we expect him to go
02:05in the twitch chat which you can participate in every day if you are watching this show on twitch
02:13you could do the same on youtube but in the twitch chat lucy in the car says greg the clubhouse
02:21chemistry is great what more do you want so i listen i am guilty uh believing that the chemistry on
02:30this team prior to the break was uh certainly a factor in winning baseball games maybe something
02:38happened during the break no i think the clubhouse maybe somebody wasn't invited to nantucket with
02:43roman anthony maybe maybe clicks are forming i think the clubhouse chemistry is great i mean it doesn't
02:50matter in baseball it never has it's the most individualized team sport in the country they are
02:56all independent contractors i know 25 guys 25 cabs but you can't tell me that in 04 they all hated
03:04shilling in the blowhard nature and all that stuff he and pedro didn't get along they won because they
03:09were so effing good like and that is also on the manager francona was brilliant at navigating egos and
03:17getting guys to play despite their feelings about someone else i just watched cora and what you said
03:22greg i couldn't agree more with like have a little fire that is an awful way to lose a game you saw
03:30social media when that game ended people were enraged why what does it hurt you to just say
03:37i can't believe we lost a game like this this is sickening the season is now you know there there's
03:42only 60 games left we got to win you know 40 of them right like and what terrifies me i i know we
03:50talked about it earlier but are are they now going to look at this team based on their performance since
03:59the break as not worthy of investing in for this season i would you would if you show me and i told
04:10you these are when i say investing i mean like making a big move that is uh you know at some risk when it
04:18comes to the future right but is a move for the now like a like a jaron duran move or whatever right
04:25well if if if i could get more for jaron duran in the offseason i look at this season based on
04:32and we talked about these series coming out of the all-star uh break i look at it and go
04:38all right well you can't beat the good teams consistently why would i invest into a team
04:46that's not going to be able to make some noise what about this greg trade for an incredibly talented
04:52yet underachieving third baseman with the san francisco giants maybe they could get him here
04:57why would you invest greg if you have them because you because you have to you have to improve the club
05:05but if you see that the club is not going to get any better and you can get by definition you would
05:11get better right but if you could get more for duran and this is the baseball brett take if you could
05:16get more for duran in the offseason and based on the performance of what your team looks like
05:21you know the the first 15 games after the all-star break and it looks like you're not going to be
05:28able to do much then wait till the offseason up i want to invest but up until the last three years
05:33this isn't even a conversation the notion that the red sox would not add at the deadline was a foreign
05:39concept right but they're they're a whole new different ball club they're not according to sam well
05:45they're a whole new different ball club and the fact that out of the last what it looks like
05:50three years in a row you finished in what last place it's a special time and now you're on pace
05:56to maybe not finishing you probably not finishing last i mean we're a game back from the yankees
06:01right now so it's like all right well what came back from the yankees and what well they're 55 and
06:0645 we're 54 and 48 yeah but you're a wild card team but i know you're talking about the division
06:11you're six behind toronto correct who cares about the yankees i'm just saying like it's not we're not
06:16in warwick you keep you keep saying that well we're probably not going to come in last i don't
06:21think we're going to come in last at all so do they look at this as okay well well it's a bit it's a bit
06:25of a jump from the last couple of seasons yeah but if our score has improved a little bit i know my
06:30thing is i don't think you're going to come in last place but if you don't make the playoffs
06:34that doesn't matter it doesn't matter this was a epic fail and the fact that if you go out
06:41you these next like i said 15 games because if you look at these you know the phillies the dodgers
06:48the twins the astros if you go through that stretch and i think the astros might be right up until the
06:56trade deadline a little bit after it if you get through this and you're like well we only won
07:02two games in our last 10 games why would i invest in a team like that because that's the team you invest
07:10and they obviously have huge issues you need to find but if you're not very good and it's also
07:15tough because the yankees after the blue jays got the phillies the rays and the marlins and my i
07:20think that and even um sam kennedy talked about it when we had him at lake winniposaki
07:24is like what type of team are we if you come out of this all-star break and you win two games
07:31and nine would you invest curtis welcome back text for you oh god bless wanting devers back as
07:40the dumbest thing i've ever heard classic curtis it was tongue-in-cheek there i couldn't find a
07:46lineman
07:46sarcasms like a second language to me what movie um i just you
07:56i you curtis is correct like they i i hope that they are looking at this season
08:05as one in which they are willing to go for it regardless of what happens during this period
08:11of time after the all-star well then you're in favor of messing with the chemistry then and trading
08:16durant yes i think you i think you have to mess with the chemistry at this point to use your most
08:23valuable assets to get you what you can get it whether it's duran or whether it's will you're a
08:29bray you i would keep a couple couple more home runs than rafael devers does uh i i don't i mean
08:36couple uh i just i don't i don't like i don't know i like why it it's now like like fans so let
08:44me ask this question don't you think fans are getting sick of it right but let me ask this question
08:48if in these nine games that you're playing uh against the cubs which you won one let's say
08:55you win one against phil the uh philadelphia and one against uh the dodges would you they're gonna
09:03win one of these games against the phillies like okay so you gotta hope but they're 11 and 3 going
09:08into this the game tonight so like yes you would invest you would invest in a team that i don't i
09:14don't think that they're going to only win one game in the next week no no i said one game against
09:20philly and one game against the dodges so you lost all three series you would invest in this team
09:25they've already invested in the team they spent a ton of money in the offseason it would all be for
09:29not if they don't make the playoffs that's my point so then what are you i don't know what you're
09:33arguing because you're not invest you already have you're not going to get much if you're not willing
09:38to move on from guys like duran yes they have one of the best farm systems of baseball you have a ton
09:43of prospects what are you talking about all right so then so you're saying you're going to get a lot
09:47for the prospects of course yes all right well that's the whole purpose of prospects my entire life
09:51as a socks fan you use them to get players at the deadline because you can afford to sign
09:55guys in free agents all right so and if then if they feel that way they can use the prospects then
09:59maybe they will get rid of some of those guys and go out and get a nathan of all day or joe ryan that
10:05we've talked about well it's not it's does it's not good currently no but that's okay baseball you
10:14can turn things around with one one win one tonight curtis anything can happen you know what i say
10:19momentum is as far as your next starting pitcher so tonight dick fitz takes on new england on his back
10:25you
10:25you
10:26you
10:26you
10:28you
10:30you
10:32you
10:34you
